Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)
NOTE 1—BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X and, therefore, do not include all disclosures necessary for a complete presentation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year or any other interim period. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Cape Bancorp, Inc. did not become the holding company for Cape Bank until January 31, 2008. Accordingly the information presented as of and for the year ended December 31, 2007 is for Cape Bank and its subsidiaries.
NOTE 2—ORGANIZATION
On January 31, 2008, Cape Bancorp completed its initial public stock offering in connection with the mutual to stock conversion of Cape Bank and the simultaneous acquisition by Cape Bancorp of Boardwalk Bancorp, Inc. (“Boardwalk Bancorp”), Linwood, New Jersey and its wholly owned New Jersey-chartered bank subsidiary, Boardwalk Bank (“Boardwalk”).
In the offering, the Company sold 7,820,000 shares of its common stock at $10.00 per share to depositors, Cape Bank’s tax qualified employee benefit plans and the general public in subscription, community and syndicated offerings. The Company also issued 547,400 shares of its common stock and contributed $782,000 in cash to The CapeBank Charitable Foundation. Cape Bancorp loaned $10,658,253 to the Bank’s employee stock ownership plan and the ESOP used these funds to acquire 1,065,082 shares of common stock at an average price of $10.01 per share.
In the acquisition of Boardwalk Bancorp, Cape Bancorp issued merger consideration of approximately $99.0 million, consisting of 4,946,121 shares of Cape Bancorp common stock and approximately $49.5 million in cash. With the acquisition of Boardwalk Bank, Cape Bank now operates 19 full service branches in Cape May and Atlantic Counties, New Jersey. On March 17, 2008, the former Boardwalk Bank Cape May branch office was consolidated with Cape Bank’s other office location. The unoccupied property is currently listed for sale. During the second quarter, Cape Bank will consolidate the former Boardwalk Bank Galloway branch in Atlantic County with Cape Bank’s other office location, and close the loan production office in Vineland, Cumberland County, New Jersey.
As a result of the transactions, Cape Bancorp has 13,313,521 issued and outstanding shares of common stock.
Cape Bank is a New Jersey chartered stock savings bank. The Bank provides a complete line of business and personal banking products through its nineteen full service branch offices located throughout Atlantic and Cape May counties in southern New Jersey.

CAPE BANCORP, INC. AND CAPE BANK
NOTE 2—ORGANIZATION(Continued)
The Bank competes with other banking and financial institutions in its primary market areas. Commercial banks, savings banks, savings and loan associations, credit unions and money market funds actively compete for savings and time certificates of deposit and all types of loans. Such institutions, as well as consumer financial and insurance companies, may be considered competitors of the Bank with respect to one or more of the services it renders.
The Bank is subject to regulations of certain state and federal agencies, and accordingly, the Bank is periodically examined by such regulatory authorities. As a consequence of the regulation of commercial banking activities, the Bank’s business is particularly susceptible to future state and federal legislation and regulations.
NOTE 3—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Financial Statement Presentation: The accounting and reporting policies of the Bank conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP) and predominant practices within the banking industry.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cape Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary Cape Bank and Cape Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Cape New Jersey Investment Company, Cape Delaware Investment Company, Cape May County Savings Service Corporation and CASABA Real Estate Holding Corporation. Cape May County Savings Service Corporation and CASABA Real Estate Holding Corporation are presently inactive. Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.
In preparing financial statements in conformity with US GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The principal estimate that is particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relates to the allowance for loan losses. The evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses includes an analysis of the individual loans and overall risk characteristics and size of the different loan portfolios, and takes into consideration current economic and market conditions, the capability of specific borrowers to pay specific loan obligations, as well as current loan collateral values. However, actual losses on specific loans, which are also encompassed in the analysis, may vary from estimated losses.
Cash and Cash Equivalents: For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, overnight deposits and federal funds sold. Net cash flows are reported for customer loan and deposit transactions, interest bearing deposits in other financial institutions, and federal funds purchased and repurchase agreements.
Investment Securities: The Bank classifies investment securities as either held to maturity or available for sale. Investment securities held to maturity are carried at cost adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount over the term of the related investments using the interest method. Investment securities classified as available for sale are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported in a separate component of equity, net of related income tax effects. Gains and losses on sales of investment securities are recognized upon realization utilizing the specific identification method. Premium or discount on investment securities is recognized as an adjustment of yield by use of the interest method over the life of the investment security.

CAPE BANCORP, INC. AND CAPE BANK
NOTE 3—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(Continued)
Declines in the fair value of securities below their cost that are other than temporary are reflected as realized losses. In estimating other-than-temporary losses, management considers: the length of time and extent that fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer, and the Company’s ability and intent to hold the security for a period sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.
Loans Held for Sale: Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or market, as determined by outstanding commitments from investors. Net unrealized losses, if any, are recorded as a valuation allowance and charged to earnings. Gains and losses on sales of mortgage loans are based on the difference between the selling price and the carrying value of the related loan sold.
Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses: Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are stated at the amount of unpaid principal, net of unearned interest, deferred loan fees and costs, and reduced by an allowance for loan losses. Interest on loans is accrued and credited to operations based upon the principal amounts outstanding. The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to operations. Loans are charged against the allowance for loan losses when management believes that the collectibility of the principal is unlikely.
Income recognition of interest is discontinued when, in the opinion of management, the collectibility of such interest becomes doubtful. A commercial loan is generally classified as nonaccrual when the loan is 90 days or more delinquent. Consumer and residential loans are classified as nonaccrual when the loan is 90 days or more delinquent with a loan to value ratio greater than 70 percent. Loan origination fees and certain direct origination costs are deferred and amortized over the life of the related loans as an adjustment to the yield on loans receivable in a manner which approximates the interest method.
All interest accrued but not received for loans placed on nonaccrual is reversed against interest income. Interest received on such loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.
The allowance for loan losses is maintained at an amount management deems adequate to cover probable incurred losses. In determining the level to be maintained, management evaluates many factors including current economic trends, industry experience, historical loss experience, industry loan concentrations, the borrowers’ ability to repay and repayment performance and estimated collateral values. In the opinion of management, the present allowance is adequate to absorb reasonable, foreseeable loan losses. While management uses the best information available to make such evaluations, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions or any of the other factors used in management’s determination. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Bank’s allowance for losses on loans. Such agencies may require the Bank to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination. Charge-offs to the allowance are made when the loan is transferred to other real estate owned or a determination of loss is made.
A loan is impaired when full payment under the loan terms is not expected. Commercial and commercial real estate loans are individually evaluated for impairment. If a loan is impaired, a portion of the allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows

using the loan’s existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans, such as consumer and residential real estate loans, are collectively evaluated for impairment, and accordingly, they are not separately identified for impairment disclosures.
Bank Owned Life Insurance (BOLI): The Bank has an investment of bank owned life insurance (BOLI). BOLI involves the purchasing of life insurance by the Bank on a chosen group of employees. The Bank is the owner and beneficiary of the policies and the amount recorded is the cash surrender value, which is the amount realizable.
Defined Benefit Plan: The Bank participates in a multi-employer defined benefit plan. The plan was amended to freeze participation to new employees commencing January 1, 2008. Employees who became eligible to participate prior to January 1, 2008, will continue to accrue a benefit under the plan. The Bank accrues pension costs as incurred.
401(k) Plan: The Bank maintains a tax-qualified defined contribution plan for all salaried employees of Cape Bank who have satisfied the 401 (k) Plan’s eligibility requirements. The Plan was amended to modify the matching contribution formula effective January 1, 2008, so that matching contributions will be equal to 100% of the participants’ contribution on up to 3% of the participants’ salary contributed to the plan and 50% of the participants’ additional contributions on the next 2% of salary contributed by the participants, with a maximum potential matching contribution of 4%.
Income Taxes: Under the liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities as measured by the enacted tax rates which will be in effect when these temporary differences are estimated to reverse. Deferred tax expense is the result of changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities. The principal types of accounts resulting in differences between assets and liabilities for financial statement and tax return purposes are allowance for loan losses, deferred compensation, deferred loan fees and accumulated depreciation.
Employee Stock Ownership Plan: The cost of shares issued to the ESOP, but not yet allocated to participants is shown as a reduction of equity. Compensation expense is based on the market price of shares as they are committed to be released to participant accounts.
Comprehensive Income: Comprehensive income includes net income as well as certain other items which result in a change to equity during the period. The income tax effects allocated to comprehensive income (loss) is as follows:

Recent Accounting Prounouncements: In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement No. 157,Fair Value Measurements. This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement establishes a fair value hierarchy about the assumptions used to measure fair value and clarifies assumptions about risk and the effect of a restriction on the sale or use of an asset. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. In February 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position (“FSP”) 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157.” This FSP delays the effective date of FAS No. 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The impact of adoption was not material.
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159,The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The standard provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value and establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. The new standard is effective for the Bank on January 1, 2008. The Bank did not elect the fair value option for any financial assets or financial liabilities as of January 1, 2008.
In September 2006, the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force finalized Issue No. 06-4,Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspect of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements. This issue requires that a liability be recorded during the service period when a split-dollar life insurance agreement continues after participants’ employment or retirement. The required accrued liability will be based on either the post-employment benefit cost for the continuing life insurance or based on the future death benefit depending on the contractual terms of the underlying agreement. This issue is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. The impact of adoption was not material.

NOTE 4—EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings Per Common Share: Basic earnings per common share is net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. ESOP shares are not considered outstanding for this calculation unless earned. Diluted earnings per share includes the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares issuable under stock option and restricted stock awards, if any. Earnings per share is calculated on earnings since the date of conversion on January 31, 2008.
The following is a reconciliation of the calculation of basic earnings per share for the period January 31, 2008 through March 31, 2008. There are no potentially dilutive common shares at March 31, 2008.

NOTE 5—FAIR VALUE
Statement 157 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Statement 157 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate the fair value of items:
Securities: The fair values of securities available for sale are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1 inputs) or matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities, but rather by relying on the securities relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs).

NOTE 6—ACQUISITION OF BOARDWALK BANCORP
On January 31, 2008, Cape Bancorp, Inc. acquired 100 percent of the outstanding shares of Boardwalk Bancorp, Inc, as previously discussed in Note 1. As a result of the acquisition, Cape Bancorp expects to further solidify its market share in the South Jersey market, expand it customer base to enhance deposit fee income and provide an opportunity to market additional products and services to new customers, including expansion of services to commercial loan customers.
Under the terms of the merger agreement, the shareholders of Boardwalk Bancorp received total merger consideration of approximately $99 million, consisting of 4,946,121 shares of Cape Bancorp common stock and approximately $49.5 million in cash. Based on the total elections made by Boardwalk Bancorp shareholders, Boardwalk Bancorp shareholders who properly elected to receive Cape Bancorp, Inc. common stock received 2.3 Cape Bancorp shares for each share of Boardwalk Bancorp common stock, and Boardwalk Bancorp shareholders who properly elected to receive cash received $23 in cash for each share of Boardwalk Bancorp common stock. The value of the 4,946,121 common shares issued was determined based on the average market price of the Company’s stock over the 2 day period before and after the terms of the acquisition were agreed to and announced. The purchase price resulted in approximately $54.2 million in goodwill, and $1.0 million in core deposit and customer relationship intangible, none of which is deductible for tax purposes. The intangible asset(s) will be amortized over 7-10 years, using an accelerated method. Goodwill will not be amortized but instead evaluated periodically for impairment. Purchase accounting adjustments are subject to refinement as management finalizes their calculations.
Boardwalk Bancorp shareholders holding approximately 350,000 shares that did not make proper elections or did not participate in the election received a combination of 0.347775 shares of the Company’s common stock and $19.5245 in cash for each share of Boardwalk Bancorp common stock. The Company paid cash in lieu of fractional shares at a rate of $10 per share.
Net assets acquired are shown in the table below (in thousands).

Rate/Volume Analysis
The following table presents the effects of changing rates and volumes on our net interest income for the periods indicated. The rate column shows the effects attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume). The volume column shows the effects attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate). The total column represents the sum of the prior columns.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2008 and 2007
General.Net income decreased $3.3 million or (309.5%), to ($2.2 million) for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The decrease was the result of the Bank’s donation to its charitable foundation of $3.8 million, net of taxes, and approximately $235,000 of expenses, net of taxes, associated with the Bank’s name change and costs related to the acquisition of Boardwalk Bank.
Interest Income.Interest income increased $4.5 million, or 50.0%, to $13.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from $9.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The increase resulted primarily from a $3.3 million, or 42.9%, increase in interest income on loans. The average balance of loans increased $224.4 million, or 49.5%, to $677.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to $453.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The average yield on the loan portfolio decreased 33 basis points to 6.56% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from 6.89% for the three months ended March 31, 2007, resulting from the decline in short term interest rates and indexed loans repricing during the first quarter. The increase in average balance of loans was the result of the acquisition of Boardwalk Bank during the quarter.
The average balance of investments and mortgage-backed securities increased $50.8 million, or 99.6% and $17.6 million, or 33.5% respectively, to $101.8 million and $70.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to $51.0 million and $52.6 million respectively for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The average yield on investments increased 74 basis points to 5.64% and increased 21 basis points on mortgage-backed securities to 5.17% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from 4.90% and 4.96% respectively for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The increase in average balance of investments and mortgage-backed securities was the result of the acquisition of Boardwalk Bank during the quarter.

Interest Expense.Interest expense increased $2.0 million, or 47.6%, to $6.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from $4.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The increase in interest expense resulted from the acquisition of Boardwalk Bank’s total deposits of $319.4 million.
Interest expense on NOW and money market accounts increased $354 thousand, or 41.8%, to $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from $846 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2007, and interest expense on certificates of deposit increased $1.4 million, or 73.7%, to $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The average rate we paid on certificates of deposit decreased 41 basis points to 4.03% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from 4.44% for the three months ended March 31, 2007, while the average balance of certificates of deposit increased $155.6 million, or 91.8%, to $325.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from $169.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The increase in average deposits was the result of the acquisition of Boardwalk Bank. Similarly, the average rate we paid on NOW and money market accounts decreased 20 basis points to 2.24% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from 2.44% for the three months ended March 31, 2007, while the average balance of NOW and money market accounts increased $77.0 million, or 54.7%, to $217.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from $140.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. We decreased rates on our certificates of deposit and NOW and money market accounts in response to the decline in short term interest rates. The NOW and money market accounts average balance for the three months ended March 31, 2008 includes indexed priced municipal accounts, which did not exist in the prior year period, with an average balance of $24.8 million and an average rate of 2.76%. The increase in deposits was the result of the acquisition of Boardwalk Bank.
Interest expense on borrowings (Federal Home Loan Bank of New York advances) increased $203 thousand, or 16.9%, to $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as a result of acquiring $82.3 million in borrowings from the acquisition of Boardwalk Bank. The average balance of borrowings increased $40.8 million, or 40.4%, to $141.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from $101.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as a result of the acquisition of Boardwalk Bank. The average rate we paid on borrowings decreased 87 basis points to 4.05% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from 4.92% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as a result of the decline in short-term interest rates and repricing of overnight advances.
Net Interest Income.Net interest income increased $2.4 million, or 50.0%, to $7.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from $4.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Increase in our net interest rate spread (3 basis points, to 3.06% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from 3.03% for the three months ended March 31, 2007) and a decrease in our net interest margin (7 basis points, to 3.40% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from 3.47% for the three months ended March 31, 2007) were only partially offset by a $295.9 million, or 52.8%, increase in average interest-earning assets to $856.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from $560.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The increase in our net interest rate spread was a result of having more rate-sensitive liabilities than assets tied to short term interest rates, which declined during the period. The decrease in our net interest margin was due to the decline in the ratio of average interest earning assets to average interest bearing liabilities to 111.81% during the period ended March 31, 2008 from 114.64 % for the period ended March 31, 2007.

Provision for Loan Losses.We establish provisions for loan losses, which are charged to operations, in order to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level we consider necessary to absorb credit losses incurred in the loan portfolio that are both probable and reasonably estimable at the balance sheet date. In determining the level of the allowance for loan losses, we consider, among other things, past and current loss experience, evaluations of real estate collateral, current economic conditions, volume and type of lending, adverse situations that may affect a borrower’s ability to repay a loan and the levels of delinquent loans. The amount of the allowance is based on estimates, and the ultimate losses may vary from such estimates as more information becomes available or conditions change. We assess the allowance for loan losses and make provisions for loan losses on a monthly basis.
Based on our evaluation of the above factors, we recorded a provision for loan losses of $283 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and $78 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2007. We recorded net charge-offs of $19 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $16 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The provision for the three months ended March 31, 2008 primarily reflected an increase of $4.4 million in non-performing loans (exclusive of non-performing loans acquired of $6.2 million) to $14.6 million from $4.0 million at December 31, 2007. The provision for the first quarter also reflects loan growth of $11.8 million exclusive of loans acquired from Boardwalk. Net loans increased $339.8 million to $790.0 million at March 31, 2008 from $450.2 million at March 31, 2007. Loans acquired as part of the acquisition accounted for $318.3 million of the increase. At March 31, 2008 the allowance for loan losses represented 1.02% of loans outstanding compared to .88% at March 31, 2007 and .89% at December 31, 2007. This increase is reflective of the increase in non-performing loans and reserves related to impaired loans. To the best of our knowledge, we have provided for all losses that are both probable and reasonable to estimate at March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2007.
Non-interest Income.Non-interest income increased $54 thousand or 5.2%, to $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The increase resulted from higher service fee income ($70 thousand) and an increase in net income from BOLI ($108 thousand) as a result of higher balances of BOLI acquired with Boardwalk Bancorp. These increases were offset by a reduction in net gains on the sale of loans ($104 thousand). In addition, the three month period ended March 31, 2007 included a $50 thousand loss recovery on real estate foreclosed on in a prior year.
Non-interest Expense. Non-interest expense increased $8.1 million to $12.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. This increase resulted primarily from a $6.3 million previously reported expense related to the formation of The CapeBank Charitable Foundation and increased expenses directly related to the Boardwalk acquisition. Higher compensation expense of $933 thousand, general advertising costs as a result of Cape Bank’s name change of $125 thousand, ESOP expense of $76 thousand, increased legal and audit fees of $131 thousand, occupancy and equipment expense of $258 thousand and office supplies of $79 thousand, and an FDIC expense of $140 thousand were all factors in the year to year increase in expenses. It is anticipated that additional merger-related expenses will be incurred in future quarters.
Income Tax Expense.The provision for income taxes decreased $2.4 million to a tax benefit of $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to $466 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as a result of the Bank’s contribution of $6.3 million to The CapeBank Charitable Foundation. Our effective tax rate was 46.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to 30.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2007, primarily a result of the net loss created by the Bank’s Charitable Foundation contribution.

Critical Accounting Policies
Certain accounting policies involve significant judgments and assumptions by us that have a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities. We consider these accounting policies to be critical accounting policies. The judgments and assumptions we use are based on historical experience and other factors, which we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from these judgments and estimates under different conditions, resulting in a change that could have a material impact on the carrying values of our assets and liabilities and our results of operations.
Allowance for Loan Losses.We consider the allowance for loan losses to be a critical accounting policy. The allowance for loan losses is the amount estimated by management as necessary to cover losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. The allowance is established through the provision for loan losses, which is charged to income. Determining the amount of the allowance for loan losses necessarily involves a high degree of judgment.
In evaluating the allowance for loan losses, management considers historical loss factors, the mix of the loan portfolio (types of loans and amounts), geographic and industry concentrations, current national and local economic conditions and other factors related to the collectibility of the loan portfolio, including underlying collateral values and estimated future cash flows. All of these estimates are susceptible to significant change. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans, such as residential real estate, home equity loans, and consumer loans, are evaluated in the aggregate under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies, using historical loss factors adjusted for economic conditions and other environmental factors. Other environmental factors include trends in delinquencies and classified loans, loan concentrations by loan category and by property type, seasonality of the portfolio, internal and external analysis of credit quality, peer group data, and single and total credit exposure. Large balance and/or more complex loans, such as multi-family and commercial real estate loans, commercial business loans, and construction loans are evaluated individually for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 114 “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, an Amendment of FASB Statements No. 5 and 15”and SFAS No. 118,“Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan – Income Recognition and Disclosures, an Amendment of SFAS No. 114”. If a loan is impaired, a portion of the allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available or as projected events change.
Management reviews the level of the allowance monthly. Although we believe that we use the best information available to establish the allowance for loan losses, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if economic conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the evaluation. In addition, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review our allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require us to recognize adjustments to the allowance based on judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination. A large loss could deplete the allowance and require increased provisions to replenish the allowance, which would adversely affect earnings.
Securities Impairment. We periodically perform analyses to determine whether there has been an other-than-temporary decline in the value of one or more of our securities. Our available-for-sale securities portfolio is carried at estimated fair value, with any unrealized gains or losses, net of taxes, reported as accumulated other comprehensive income or loss in stockholder’s equity. Our held-to-
22
CAPE BANCORP, INC. AND CAPE BANK
maturity securities portfolio, consisting of debt securities for which we have a positive intent and ability to hold to maturity, is carried at amortized cost. We conduct a quarterly review and evaluation of the securities portfolio to determine if the value of any security has declined below its cost or amortized cost, and whether such decline is other-than-temporary. If such decline is deemed other-than-temporary, we would adjust the cost basis of the security by writing down the security to estimated fair market value through a charge to current period operations. The market values of our securities are affected by changes in interest rates.
Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk |
General. The majority of our assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. Consequently, our most significant form of market risk is interest rate risk. Our assets, consisting primarily of mortgage-related assets, have longer maturities than our liabilities, consisting primarily of deposits. As a result, a principal part of our business strategy is to manage interest rate risk and limit the exposure of our net interest income to changes in market interest rates. Accordingly, we have an Interest Rate Risk Management Committee of the Board as well as an Asset/Liability Committee, comprised of our Chief Executive Officer, EVP/Chief Financial Officer, EVP/Chief Operating Officer, EVP/Chief Lending Officer, SVP of Residential Lending, Vice Presidents of Retail Funding, Vice President Accounting/Finance and our Controller. The Interest Rate Risk Management Committee is responsible for evaluating the interest rate risk inherent in our assets and liabilities, for recommending to our Board of Directors the level of risk that is appropriate, given our business strategy, operating environment, capital, liquidity and performance objectives, and for managing this risk consistent with the guidelines approved by the Board of Directors.
We have sought to manage our interest rate risk in order to minimize the exposure of our earnings and capital to changes in interest rates. As part of our ongoing asset-liability management, we currently use the following strategies to manage our interest rate risk:
| • | | originating commercial mortgage loans that generally tend to have shorter maturities and higher interest rates; |
| • | | investing in shorter duration investment grade corporate securities and mortgage-backed securities; |
| • | | originating adjustable-rate and short-term consumer loans; |
| • | | selling our long-term residential mortgage loans to our correspondent banks; and |
| • | | obtaining general financing through lower cost deposits and laddered maturities of Federal Home Loan Bank advances. |
Shortening the average maturity of our interest-earning assets by increasing our investments in shorter-term loans, as well as loans with variable interest rates, helps to better match the maturities and interest rates of our assets and liabilities, thereby reducing the exposure of our net interest income to changes in market interest rates.
Net Interest Income Analysis.We analyze our sensitivity to changes in interest rates through our net interest income model. Net interest income is the difference between the interest income we earn on our interest-earning assets, such as loans and securities, and the interest we pay on our interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. In our model, we estimate what our net interest income would be for a twelve-month period. We then calculate what the net interest income would be for the same period under the assumption that interest rates experience an instantaneous and sustained increase of 100 or 200 basis points or decrease of 100 or 200 basis points.
23
CAPE BANCORP, INC. AND CAPE BANK
The table below sets forth, as of March 31, 2008, our calculation of the estimated changes in our net interest income that would result from the designated instantaneous and sustained changes in interest rates. Computations of prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes are based on numerous assumptions, including relative levels of market interest rates, loan prepayments and deposit decay, and should not be relied upon as indicative of actual results.
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | Net Interest Income | |
Change in Interest Rates (basis points)(1) | | Estimated Net Interest Income | | Increase (Decrease) in Estimated Net Interest Income | |
| | Amount | | | Percent | |

-200 | | | 32,527 | | | (1,266 | ) | | (3.75 | ) |
(1) | Assumes an instantaneous and sustained uniform change in interest rates at all maturities. |
The table above indicates that at March 31, 2008, in the event of a 100 basis point increase in interest rates, we would experience a $161 thousand decrease in net interest income. In the event of a 100 basis point decrease in interest rates, we would experience a $966 thousand decrease in net interest income.
Certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodologies used in determining interest rate risk through changes in net interest income. Modeling changes require making certain assumptions that may or may not reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. In this regard, the net interest income information presented assumes that the composition of our interest-sensitive assets and liabilities existing at the beginning of a period remains constant over the period being measured and assumes that a particular change in interest rates is reflected uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration or repricing of specific assets and liabilities. Accordingly, although interest rate risk calculations provide an indication of our interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time, such measurements are not intended to and do not provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on our net interest income and will differ from actual results.
Item 4T. | Controls and Procedures |
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report.
